Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis declared in the Legislative Assembly that Mumbai`s first state-of-the-art cyber police station, situated in Bandra West, is on the verge of becoming operational.

The increasing number of cybercrimes, significant incidents of money laundering, and fraud cases led to the initiative to open this cyber police station. The Bandra West Assembly constituency`s MLA, Ashish Shelar, emphasised the need for a stand-alone cyber police station in Mumbai. The development of this cutting-edge institution was approved when the then-chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis, accepted his advice for a suitable location.
